Editor:
1. Thanks for the word.

2. I don't think "grading test" is a well-recognized term.
Google results:
"take a grading test" - 5,890 results
"take a level test" - 1,440,000 results
"take a grade exam" - 133,000 results

3. In the field of music, for the noun sense, "grade exam" seems to be far more usual than "grading test".
People write things like
- "By taking and passing a grade exam, you get an idea of where you are at on the spectrum of piano playing competence."
- "When you take a grade exam you have pieces you have to prepare, and you are also expected to sight-read ..."

If you Google { piano take "grading test" }, on the first page of results you get stuff like
- Piano Grading Test in Eastern China
- Grading Test Pieces for Piano (With CD 2016) (Chinese Edition)
- Piano Grading Test - Kevin Lee 4/22/2018 - YouTube
- seeing a large increase in Chinese students taking the grading test, ...
which leads me to suspect that "grading test" is Chinglish for "grade exam".
